Too late
I guess you should say what you meant
Finding ways to please every soul
But failing in every way, in every rule
For what? What could be done to find favor?
What could be done to be accounted for?
Passing faces in and out
Fading smiles and noisy sounds
Waiting for screams, dying to shout
Silently hoping for fluid bounds
I am here and you are there
You are the star that usually dares
Fill my eyes with sudden stares
Leaving me with something I couldn't fare
And that's it. I fell in love
Praying for a miracle from above
But as life intervened
We found ourselves completely apart
Even though we haven't sinned
Perhaps you wouldn't want to startFly, fly away
But you are that bird in the cage
Once you are free, you got nothing to say
Drifted far and wide, off from the page
Too late
You were gone too soon
You should have stayed and enjoyed your boon
You've found someone other than me
And you've stayed with him until three became three
You cheated, you lied
And too late, I could have tried
Fixing things out, finding the truth
But you gave up and betrayal is the fruit
You used to have happiness in your heart
But it shattered to pieces, to a thousand shards
And too late
Because I could seal our fate
But you hid from your destined mate
And you ended up in the ditch where no one stayed up lateYou should have laughed
I should have forgiven
But with hears hardened, all turned to bluff
All is meaningless and suddenly ashen
Digging my own niche
Tying my own hitch
Looping ropes in my neck
Talking to no one in check
Wasting lines while writing nonsense
Fighting for nothing, not even a pence
Too late
You should have come home
Helped me save my life from the meaningless roam
Too late
You should have fought back
I should have too
But we are too slack
So we lost to out two
I've turned my back
You did the same
I look behind
And I realized I'm lame
Took off running, finding you there
Found you saying your final swearI stood there, unable to speak
Unable to do anything except peek
At your beautiful face, your beautiful smile
Seeing your happiness bounded for a mile
'I object,' I wanted to shout
Too late, the doors started to shut
Get out! I must flee this place
When you turned your head and tears traced
You ran, leaving the altar
Ran to me, who stood by the door
Cried, until everyone is looking
I just stood there, happiness feigning
Until I realized something
Something ground-shattering
I was too late
Always staying off the plate
Until the day you swore your oath
I was there
A second too lateI vividly remember the emotions I hid into this poem and it's uncomfortable to be reminded of them especially when I thought them to be silly now. I certainly thought it mattered back then but now I feel like punching my past self for even thinking and feeling that. I don't know.
And somehow, I managed to turn this poem into a wedding-crashing scene.
So, what do you think? Comment below. :)
